½ cup julienned carrots

½ cup sliced cremini mushrooms

1 cup (packed) chopped kale

4 tablespoons olive oil (divided)

1 large egg

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce

1 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons chicken or vegetable stock

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Toasted sesame seeds for garnish

Preparation:

Start to finish: 30 to 45 minutes (depending on type of rice)

Cook rice with water and salt according to package instructions. Keep warm.

While rice cooks, prepare vegetables and tofu.

About 15 minutes before rice is done: Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry egg over easy; remove to a plate.
